Biomimetic Gold Nanoshell-Loaded Macrophage for Photothermal Biomedicine

Figure 6

Time-dependent serum biochemistry results, from rats treated with the ANS-MAs for 21 days. Those results indicate mean of (a) albumin, (b) ALP, (c) ALT, (d) AST, (e) BUN, (f) creatinine, (g) globulin, and (h) total protein. Additionally, the values of T.Bil and γ-GTP were lower than the detection value (<1 and <3) (-number: 7; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; T.Bil: total bilirubin; γ-GTP: gamma-glutamyl transferase; ANS-MAs: gold nanoshell-loaded macrophages).
